Role of Biomarkers in Prediction of Cardiotoxicity During Cancer Treatment

TL;DR: Although biomarkers are an attractive option in the detection of cardiotoxicity among cancer patients, current recommendations surrounding its role are based on expert consensus opinion and further research is required to guide optimal clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of novel biomarkers for doxorubicin-induced toxicity in human cardiomyocytes derived from pluripotent stem cells.

TL;DR: The results from this study show that cTnT release can be used as a measurement of acute cardiotoxicity due to doxorubicin, however, for the late onset of doxorbicin-induced cardiomyopathy, cTNT release might not be the most optimal biomarker.

GDF-15 Neutralization Alleviates Platinum-Based Chemotherapy-Induced Emesis, Anorexia, and Weight Loss in Mice and Nonhuman Primates.

TL;DR: It is found that circulating GDF-15 is higher in subjects with cancer receiving platinum-based chemotherapy and is positively associated with weight loss in colorectal cancer and that mAB1 treatment attenuates anorexia and emesis in nonhuman primates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiotoxicity of anthracycline therapy: current perspectives.

TL;DR: According to previous clinical trials, the major high-risk factors for anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity are age, body weight, female gender, radiotherapy, and other diseases such as Down syndrome, familial dilated cardiomyopathy, diabetes and hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protecting the heart in cancer therapy.

TL;DR: This work defines cancer therapeutics-induced cardiotoxicity as the direct or indirect cardiovascular injury or injurious effect caused by cancer therapies, and describes four progressive stages of this condition and four corresponding levels of prevention.

Outcomes for Children and Adolescents With Cancer: Challenges for the Twenty-First Century

TL;DR: Almost 38,000 childhood malignant cancer deaths were averted in the United States from 1975 through 2006 as a result of more effective treatments identified and applied during this period.

Prevention of High-Dose Chemotherapy–Induced Cardiotoxicity in High-Risk Patients by Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibition

TL;DR: In high-risk, HDC-treated patients, defined by an increased troponin I value, early treatment with enalapril seems to prevent the development of late cardiotoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic Value of Troponin I in Cardiac Risk Stratification of Cancer Patients Undergoing High-Dose Chemotherapy

TL;DR: TnI release pattern after high-dose chemotherapy identifies patients at different risks of cardiac events in the 3 years thereafter, and stratification allows the monitoring program and to plan, in selected patients, preventive strategies aimed at improving clinical outcome.
